I heard that a walker does not help a baby walk any faster than not using one. Is this true?

Walker's are not for the purpose of teaching a baby to walk,its just a device so they can move around.Keeps them out of harms way and entertained

yes

Not only is it true but I've come across research that suggests walkers can actually be a hindrance.

it will not help him any developmentally, (ie-the instict to start walking. but it will help the baby strengthen leg muscles.

A walker is a piece of junk!! Let the baby crawl around and explore its world then it will get up and walk. Walkers main job is to keep baby confined, but give it some space, same as playpens. They are often used as babysitters.

Yes, true. And it robs the baby of muscle strength.
